Chapter 398 Divine Throne Continent! [Request for Monthly Tickets!]_2
...
"When Immortal Cultivators enter this world, they are restricted everywhere: Mana is difficult to wield, Magic is hard to execute, and Divine Sense cannot extend outside the body, spreading outwards. Only Protective Immortal Light remains, able to ensure one's safety."
"If one wishes to regain Divine Skills, they must stay for a period of time until body and mind are entirely acquainted with Magic Power, Magic, and similar aspects. Only then can part of their Mana be forcibly converted into Magic Power and part of their Magic forcibly turned into Magic."
"Depending on individual circumstances, the time required will vary greatly, as will the heights of achievement they can attain."
Chen Jichuan recalled that when Tuota Venerable first entered this world, it took a full seven hundred years to initiate the Magic Power conversion and begin casting Basic Magic. In the subsequent two millennia of constant refinement and research, he only barely reached the threshold for Legendary, relying on his Nine Layers Immortal Light to contend with an Immortal King just barely.
Moreover, according to Tuota Venerable's knowledge, among the numerous Heavenly Venerables and Immortal Venerables who entered the Divine Throne Continent, the highest achievements were no more than the middle to upper ranks of the Immortal Kings—still far away from the Eternal Emperor tier.
In fact, there were even some Heavenly Venerables who remained stuck at the Third Level, unable to touch the Legendary realm—a true mockery of immortality!
"The greatest advantage of Heavenly Venerables and Immortal Venerables lies in their lifespan."
"Yet, for Tuota Venerable, whose True Spirit isn't anchored within the Immortal Sect, even as an average Heavenly Ladder Realm cultivator, there will inevitably come a day when his lifespan reaches its limit. Compared to the Kings and Emperors of this world, he is still at a disadvantage."
"The same goes for me."
Before entering the Divine Throne Continent, Chen Jichuan had already analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of his situation based on the corresponding information left behind by Tuota Venerable, roughly drafting his initial entry plan for this realm.
Suffering heavy injuries the moment he entered, though frustrating, was one of the scenarios he had anticipated in his plans, so he didn't lose his calm despite his anger.
"First, I must heal my wounds. This will also be a good time to ponder Magic Power and Magic."
"As for the conversion process, it sounds daunting, but I have 'Dao Fruit,' so it won't be too troublesome."
After a brief moment of contemplation, Chen Jichuan wrapped himself in tattered Immortal Light and sank deep into the mountain abyss.
Time flowed like water.
A hundred years passed in the blink of an eye.
...
A hundred years later.
The depths of the mountain abyss.
Chen Jichuan casually gestured, and streams of milky white light cascaded from above him, interspersed with flashes of electricity and undulating water screens.
[Basic Magic: Purification Light]
[Level 1 Magic: Healing Technique]
[Second-level Magic: Electrotherapy Technique]
[Second-level Magic: Vitality Water]
Chen Jichuan repeatedly applied these four healing magic spells, which he gradually mastered over the century, to slowly condition his injuries while also becoming familiar with Magic casting.
A hundred years ago, before entering the Divine Throne Continent, Chen Jichuan had already begun training in Magic.
"I possess 'Commanding All Laws.' Back in the day, the inherited techniques of the Fuling Demon King and the Dual-element Immortal Spider were effortlessly mastered by me and made my own. Naturally, Magic in this world is no exception."
"Mana-driven Magic casting required Tuota Venerable and other Realm Immortals to go through the laborious process of converting Magic Power, leaving them with meager reserves that they used sparingly. I, on the other hand, bypass this conversion step entirely—or you could say 'Commanding All Laws' itself is my method of converting Magic Power. Furthermore, while Immortal Venerables and Heavenly Venerables rely on 'active skills' that struggle to function, mine is a 'passive skill.'"
Chen Jichuan's complexion appeared pale, a testament to his unhealed injuries.
Back when he escaped from the hands of two Heavenly Venerables, the injuries he sustained took a hundred years to heal. This time, the wounds were even more severe; a mere century was far from sufficient for recovery.
Nonetheless, over the past century, he had managed to stabilize his Triple Immortal Light. As long as the rest of his injuries didn't obstruct his ability to cast Magic, full recovery could be deferred to future care.
"Tuota Venerable, within his Nine Treasures Glazed Tower, possesses over dozens of Magic techniques, though most of them are Low-level Magic. The highest level among them is merely Third-level Magic."
"And since Magic construction requires a large amount of Magic Materials, Tuota Venerable's collections weren't vast. Staying secluded in this barren mountain is a waste of time; I might as well continue cultivating while tending to my injuries."
Chen Jichuan's Mana surged, traversing the Magic circuit to swiftly construct an Elemental Giant Hand, which hoisted him into the air and soared upward, heading toward the surface of the mountain abyss.
[Third-level Magic: Elemental Hand]
This is one of the four Third-level Magic techniques collected by Tuota Venerable, and the only one Chen Jichuan currently possesses sufficient Magic Materials to construct.
If a mage from this world saw him using 'Elemental Hand' to travel, their jaw would surely drop in shock.
In this world, this spell is meant for combat—whether controlling, pushing, or gripping an enemy, it can accomplish feats of brilliance. On the Divine Throne Continent, even Third-level Mages often lack the Magic Power necessary for frequent or prolonged use of the spell.
But Chen Jichuan is different.
As a Fourth-order Immortal, even as a First Realm Immortal, the 'quality' of his Mana is equivalent to that of an Ordinary Legendary Mage, while its 'quantity' vastly outstrips those at the Legendary level, and is unmatched even compared to Immortal Kings or Eternal Emperors.
The worlds are fundamentally different, but for those like the Heavenly Venerables and Immortal Venerables who journeyed here, the sheer volume of their Mana gives them a crushing advantage. Unfortunately, due to the constraints of this world's rules and differing systems, converting Mana into Magic Power results in enormous loss and difficulty. During battle, conversion is almost impossible; only preparation in advance allows them to stockpile reserves. Even then, they fall short in comparison to the native Mages of this realm and are hesitant to expend their resources recklessly during combat.
Chen Jichuan lacks such restrictions, making his advantages on the Divine Throne Continent self-evident. This confidence is precisely why he dares to extravagantly use 'Elemental Hand' as a means of transportation.
